Is it weird that I absolutely hated Sebastian Stan in the movie The Covenant but totally love him in everything else?
I really hope Marvel decides to make him Captain America.
I heard that Cap 3 was supposed to be the Fallen Son? It's the last contracted movie for Chris Evans, and he's the least enthusiastic of the members of that franchise, so... Plotwise, that SHOULD be what happens. I hope Sebs gets in, too, because he's great. I loved Chris Evans but his attitude towards the role just kind of put a bad taste in my mouth.
Agreed. He's gorgeous but.... yeah like you said. He doesn't seem to happy to be in the role. I read an article where he said it's because he is always seen as Captain now and nothing else. Plus he wants to get into directing.
I'm going to assume that since they brought him back in the last one that he'll play a larger part and, hopefully, become Captain sooner or later. It'd be bullshit if they didn't.
It's interesting that, as a straight man (at least as straight as my Bohemian inclinations permit) my own ideas of what constitutes an attractive man seem very skewed from what many women find attractive. So many Hollywood stars - Ryan Gosling, I'm looking at you - seem to have eyes too close together, or other imperfections. But then I suppose I am looking at it from an aesthetic rather than sexual point of view, and though there is an overlap it perhaps isn't all that great. I've sometimes been asked by female friends who I think is a good looking man, and whilst they often accept that they are 'objectively' good looking they don't often agree that they are sexy.
I wonder what the readers of this thread, whom I imagine to be largely but by no means exclusively women interested in men, make of the Des Esseintes list? No particular order.

Johnny Depp
Cillian Murphy
Marlon Brando
Maybe I just like symmetrical faces? Killer cheekbones? Or maybe, as one friend put it to me, I only see the attraction in men who could, without too much of a twist, also be attractive as women? In other words, the rough, down and dirty types don't do anything for me, because I'm not wired that way. I don't know. But I'd be genuinely interested to see how much overlap there is.

Des, I can definitely vouch for the deliciousness of that list. It distracts me from making a more articulate response to your interesting points. Though, I am being refused access to the Cillian Murphy image which is just incredibly saddening.

It's not like I hop up and think, hey, that person's got freckles! They must be a beautiful woman and I really want to get on them! And their freckles.

So, what you're saying is....you want me for more than my freckles...?

Also...

Well, obviously. They do have a certain charm, though... that charm being, they're beautiful.
And the blue eyes. And just everything.
Apparently, also very distracting.
